thanks and yes ..looks similar,
The Album I found is interesting as the family photos are from England and New Zealand.
My great Uncle was living in NZ in 1923 and a bit earlier, my Grandmother and her two young sons, My Dad age 9 and Eddie age 7 .. Eddie from the Northern Sports Car Club archive, they arrived in late December 1926..
The rest of the photos are largely family, so no more cars !!
Have been told as in suggested that the " Royal Hotel " was in Christchurch, which would make sense as one of Frank Bell's cousins -
Ernest Adams .. of Cake fame lived there, and his brother George Adams, also a Baker was in Australia when Frank came to NZ.. Frank came to NZ via Australia..
Uncle Frank passed Away in 1929, but his wife obviously like the Nash Car .. as in in 1935 had this one..
A Lafayette,which was Nash's slightly lower version but still fancy in New Zealand .. and believe these were assembled in Canada to get the " Empire " tariff.
Most US Auto Companies did the same Ford Chev - GM et al..
